Chevy Bets on Spaceship

c) The name given to a video promoting clean energy efforts by Chevrolet

If you chose c), you are correct. While it may sound like the least likely of the three choices, one of the videos in Chevy’s brand new clean energy campaign is called Spaceship.

Chevy is trying to appeal to consumers with a message that the automaker is working to improve the environment. That is not the easiest sell when most of the products you make pollute the atmosphere.

General Motors is looking to turn around public opinion after last year’s government bailout to keep the company afloat. Do you think this campaign help to do that?
